PURRFECTLY DESIGNED

Cats move with a warrior’s grace, a hunter’s agility, and a spotless cleanliness that leaves the world in awe. Yet hidden inside the mouth of every house cat and every lion is one of the most astonishing pieces of God’s engineering: the feline tongue. At first glance it looks like a soft pink surface, but under a microscope it becomes a battlefield of precision. Each tongue is armed with rows of backward-facing keratin spines called papillae. These tiny hooks are the same material as human fingernails and work like thousands of perfectly aligned combs. They reach deep into the fur, pulling out loose hair, parasites, and dirt with flawless efficiency.

That same God-crafted tool does far more than grooming. Those spines let cats grip and shred meat with ease, scoop water like a ladle, and cool their bodies by spreading saliva across their coat. Scientists study this system because it outperforms our best grooming tools. Human engineers marvel at it. Scripture points to its Author. Life does not stumble into genius. Genius begins with a Genius.
According to Genesis, God brought two of every land animal kind to Noah, including the ancient feline kind. After the Flood, as the world reopened, their descendants spread, diversified, and filled the earth through built-in genetic variety, not blind evolution. The same family line that stepped off the Ark gave rise to lions, tigers, leopards, cougars, and the house cat curled up on a couch today. One Creator. One kind. Many forms.

The feline tongue stands as a living testimony. Not to chance. Not to random mutation. But to a Creator who equips His creatures with purpose, strength, and flawless design. When a cat grooms its fur, you are watching evidence of creation in motion and a reminder of the God who preserved the animals on the Ark and prepared them to thrive in the world that followed.

On November 18, Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) received information that multiple horses are exhibiting clinical signs of equine herpes myeloencephalopathy (EHM), the neurologic disease linked to equine herpes virus (EHV-1).

The extent of this EHV-1 outbreak is not yet fully known. Presentation of EHV-1 in these horses has been acute with rapid progression and high clinical severity. Investigation into the character and epidemiology of this disease event is ongoing but the need for rapid and proactive actions to curb the spread is clear.
